It is very normal to feel afraid of negative marking, and many students face this problem. The main reason is lack of confidence in answers. To improve this, first focus on practice. When you solve more questions daily, your accuracy automatically improves. Start with easy questions and build confidence step by step. During mock tests, don’t try to attempt everything. First solve questions you are 100% sure about, then come back to moderate ones. Avoid blind guessing, but if you can eliminate 2 options, then it is okay to take a calculated risk. Analyze your mocks and check where you are making mistakes. Slowly, you will understand which questions to attempt and which to skip. With regular practice and proper analysis, your fear of negative marking will reduce and your confidence will increase.
